The "Battle of the Bastards" held epic fight scenes and tense dialogues, some of which contained more than meets the eye.

Scroll down for a look at the five things you probably missed.

1/

Tyrion's conversation with Daenerys foreshadowed a deadly theory.

HBO

During their opening scene, Tyrion and Daenerys spoke about her father — the Mad King Aerys Targaryen. As a warning to Daenerys not to get too out of control with her destruction, Tyrion recounted a story he heard from Jaime about caches of wildfire placed all throughout the King's Landing.

Wildfire is a magical substance that can burn through wood, flesh, and even steel. The Mad King wanted to burn the city to the ground, and Jaime killed him (breaking his Kingsguard oath in the process) to protect the city. The significance of this story from Tyrion has little to do with the past, however, and everything to do with the future of the series.

Cersei might use the Mad King's wildfire stash to her advantage.

HBO

Wildfire has come up several times in the series, and fans believe it has all been leading up to Cersei going full "Mad King" herself and burning King's Landing to the ground using wildfire. In this episode, Tyrion made a point to say there was wildfire under the Sept of Baelor. And guess where Cersei's trial will be held in the next episode? It's looking like things are going to heat up in the finale.

3/

Daenerys had an old family insult tossed her way.

HBO

Razdal mo Eraz, one of the Wise Masters of Yunkai, was among the leaders in the siege against Meereen. The last time he came face to face with Daenerys was in season three, when he offered her gold and ships in return for leaving their city alone.

When discussing surrender terms with Daenerys and Tyrion, Razdal tells the Mother of Dragons that she will now be forced from the city with nothing. "You will flee Slaver's Bay on foot, like the Beggar Queen you are," he said. Book readers will recognize this dismissive insult as par for the course when it comes to Targaryens.

4/

Daenerys' brother, Viserys, was commonly referred to as the Beggar King.

HBO

Before he was killed by Khal Drogo, and before Daenerys had even married into the Dothraki horde, Viserys was known in Essos as the "Beggar King." When Daenerys and Viserys first fled Westeros in exile, they had valuable possessions like a royal crown. But during their travels and attempts at staying hidden, Viserys and Daenerys were robbed and left friendless. It was then that Viserys acquired the nickname "Beggar King," and Razdal's comment to Daenerys indicates that leaders in Essos have not forgotten this.

5/

Wun Wun's death means the extinguishing of an entire race.

HBO

In the show at least, Wun Wun was the last remaining giant in Westeros. Though the books have indicated that many more are beyond the Wall, the show implied that Wun Wun was the last of his kind. Not only was his death a tragic blow for viewers and for Jon Snow, but the Giant's passing represents the end of an entire species. We just hope Wun Wun (or any other giant for that matter) comes back as a zombified wight.

6/

Rickon didn't say a single word since season three.

HBO

R.I.P. Rickon, we hardly knew ye.

But seriously, Rickon has to be one of the quietest characters in the entire series. Before his death at the twisted hands of Ramsay Bolton, Rickon didn't utter a single word. In fact, he hasn't spoken onscreen in three seasons. And even before that, Rickon was a noticeably quiet character.

7/

In the penultimate episode of season three, Rickon said goodbye to Bran.

HBO

Rickon's tearful goodbye to Bran ended up being his final words on the series. His traveling companion and protector, Osha, was plenty talkative. She was last seen trying to talk Ramsay into a vulnerable state, but her plan failed. Rickon, on the other hand, was silent until the last.

8/

Ramsay's brutal death was foreshadowed at the beginning of the season.

HBO

Sansa Stark took some hard earned revenge on Ramsay, allowing his own starved dogs to eat him alive as she watched. This was a poetic death for Ramsay, who killed his own stepmother and infant half-brother using the hounds earlier in the season. He also sent a threatening letter to Jon Snow, taunting him about feeding the Stark family to the hounds.

But Ramsay's own father, Roose, saw his bastard son's fate coming.

9/

Right before Ramsay murdered him, Roose warned his son about the consequences of his actions.

HBO

Roose frequently tried to guide Ramsay down a less tortuous path of leadership. Though Ramsays, uh, "talents" for manipulating were effective, Roose was able to see the potential backlash that came with flaying and torturing your subjects.

Minutes before Ramsay shoved a dagger into his side, Roose told his son: "If you acquire a reputation as a mad dog, you'll be treated as a mad dog — taken out back and slaughtered for pig feed."

Ramsay got the mad dog treatment all right. And now viewers can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Winterfell is out of Bolton hands forever.
